I haven't seen an archive for submitted articles, so at a certain point they just drop off the radar although you can view your own submittals down the road.<BR/><BR/>This essay is really great, I can't tell you enough how inspiring it was/is; although knowing the reality of some it's also disturbing in those images it brings up.<BR/><BR/>You probably don't want to hear this, but for this submittal and any possible future ones you may want to decrease your images and the such as (you probably know) your page loads pretty slowly. I've been cleaning mine up as much as I hate/hated to. But when I started submitting posts at RCP I realized most people would not have the patience to wait for my page load to read what I posted....so...I've removed anything that gave my site any kind of character, or visual enjoyment for myself; great huh?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, enough of my minding someone elses business.a.k.a.

Some costs are far too dear to bear. Because nobody comes in second in a War. There is a winner and a loser.</I><BR/><BR/>Then, along came the Left--as you've pointed out. The Right was thrust into crisis-management mode and bought into the concept of "just war."
